Determinants of Entrepreneurial Intention and the Role of Entrepreneurial Education: An Analysis in the Ecuadorian University Context

Abstract:

The objectives of this research were, first, to determine the incidence of determining factors in the entrepreneurial intention (EI) of university students, with a mixed model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Entrepreneurial Event Model (EEM), and with this, to propose guidelines for the learning process of entrepreneurship that promote entrepreneurial intention in university students. The study, with a quantitative approach, used the selected sampling technique (simple random sampling) from an Ecuadorian public university with a population of 8,500 students. It was revealed that the three dimensions analyzed:" university context"," perceived control" and" entrepreneurial attitude" have a positive and significant impact on entrepreneurial intention. It is expected that the findings will contribute to improve the effectiveness of entrepreneurship programs offered by higher education institutions.
